To my understanding, the V20 is very comprehensive and is probably the most complete and authentic version of what Vampire was for most of its lifetime. To me, it seems that the two suggested versions of the game are: the V20 or 20th anniversary edition that came out in 2011 and the 5th edition that came out in 2018. I've done some research to fully understand the different editions and versions of the game. Recently, I decided that I'd try something new and I chose Vampire. I never got to play the Vampire tabletop games but I often delved into bits of lore and plot. I played the Vampire the Masquerade video games many years ago and really enjoyed the mood and setting. I've now created an account because I am in a dilemma. I've been a stalker of ENWorld for a bit for my upgrades on tabletop games.
